Thanks, for making aware of that issue, Roman.
It'll be fixed with the next release.
In the meantime you may replace the 2 htmlentities calls at the bottom of plugins/default/blog/pages/view.php by urldecode calls.

As for translating: Feel free to edit ossn.ru.php in the locale directory of the component.
(In doubt, have a look into "How-to-translate-Ossn" in the documentation section, first)

Also there is a problem displaying share link for Cyrillic.
In the address bar it will say

blog/view/17/тест-блогe
But when you click share button it shows:
sharedblogs/view/17/%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82-%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B3

Hi. I'm a newbie and having a problem to insert image/video into the dialog box at the textarea while creating blog post. I have no idea how to select the image or video to upload. Notice somewhere that some dialog has a file picker. Thanking in advance.

Full url will give a feeling of accessing the same page and nothing more than that.

German Michael Zülsdorff Replied 4 years ago

why should the link have what you name a "full-url"?

in Ranjan Rai Replied 4 years ago

On the OSS-wall, blogs are showing the text link and moreover the links are ending with the blog-id, It should show the full url rather than a half url and if possible the text link should be replaced by bootstrap button and the position of the button should be sifted to the right side rather than the present position of left.

ok thanks @~Z~ Man i just updated it, its working as it should now. keep up the good :) very appreciated

German Michael Zülsdorff Replied 4 years ago

Sorry James,
my code wasn't prepared to run on sites that come installed in a subdirectory, like yours.
2.9 should do now.

gb JACK AMPERES Replied 4 years ago

@Ranjan Rai YES that is working, what file do i edit so that the share link the share button gives is valid ? once again thanks
